Chuseok, which is similar with Thanksgiving
Day in the U.S, is the most important and biggest holiday in Korea. Most
Koreans love and look forward to this holiday. We usually have three or four
holidays for Chuseok. Therefore people who do not live with their families visit
their hometown and relatives to say hello and spend time together.
When I was in Korea, I lived by myself separated
from my family because I worked in another city which is not my hometown. I
used to visit my family for weekends but not very often. On the other hand I can spend my whole time with my family on
Chuseok. Besides we do a ceremony for our ancestors and eat some delicious food that we cooked for the ceremony. Eating delicious food is also one of the reason why I like Chuseok. Especially, I can eat abalones, a kind of shellfish, as much as I can that my parents prepare for the ceremony and for me!! Because they know that I am dying for it!!
